The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where the trunk was repaired however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not under warranty. The failure mileage was unknown.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE APRIL 2020. DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE AND THEN STARTED TO SHUTTER AND SHAKE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. I LITERALLY HAVE TO FLOOR IT TO GET IT TO QUIT. THIS SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

I TOOK MY FORD FOCUS 2013 INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 2020. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCHES 20S30 CODE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY TOOK CARE OF IT. I JUST CHECKED ONLINE AND IT?S HASN?T BEEN FIXED. IT?S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND WE?VE BEEN DRIVING IT WITH A NEWBORN BABY NOT KNOWING THAT THEY HAVEN?T FIXED THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER MOTHER WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER. THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE DRIVER CONTINUED DRIVING TO THE RESIDENCE WITH THE VEHICLE CONTINUING TO SHUDDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEECHMONT FORD, INC. (600 OHIO PIKE, CINCINNATI, OH 45245, (513) 752-6611) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEXT TAKEN TO MIKE CASTRUCCI FORD (1020 OH-28, MILFORD, OH 45150, (513) 275-1048) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 220,000.

THE DPS6 POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION USED IN THE 2013 FORD FOCUS HAS WELL KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH SHUDDERING AND JERKING WHILE ACCELERATING IN LOW GEARS. DURING RAIN WHEN THE STREETS ARE WET IT JERKS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE CAR TO LOSE TRACTION MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY ACCELERATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION.

I NEED THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND THE PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE PART BECAUSE THEY HAVE 20,000 ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE. THIS PART CAUSES MY TRANSMISSION TO GO HAYWIRE AT TIMES. OFTEN SENDING MY RPMS TO HIGH LEVELS AS SOON AS I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DROPPING MY SON OFF AT DAYCARE AND THE CAR JOLTED FORWARD AS SOON AS I HIT THE GAS TO LEAVE MY DRIVEWAY AND AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH I COULD HEAR MY ENGINE WORKING REALLY HARD AND THE RPMS WERE ALL THE WAY UP AT 3. MY CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO SWITCH GEARS.

STEERING FELT A LITTLE STICKY. LAST NIGHT I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND AN ALERT CAME UP THAT SAID 'STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW' AND THIS MORNING I STARTED IT AND IT SAID 'STEERING LOSS PARK SAFELY' AND THE STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD WHEN I LOST POWER STEERING LAST NIGHT

MY CAR WHEN AT IDLE OR DRIVING AT LOW RPM (900-2000) WILL STALL OUT AND NOT START FOR A WHILE. IVE REPLACED FUEL PRESSURE SENSORS AND THE INJECTION PUMP, AND IT STILL STALLING.
